With love comes the courage to be yourself in The Danish Girl, which hit Digital HD on February 16, and will be out on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand on March 1, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener, the remarkable love story is "a cinematic landmark," according to Variety's Peter Debruge. The Danish Girl on Blu-ray� and DVD comes with an exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette about the making of the film. The Focus Features release is nominated for four Academy Awards� including Best Actor (Eddie Redmayne), Best Supporting Actress (Alicia Vikander), Best Costume Design (Paco Delgado), and Best Production Design (Production Designer, Eve Stewart; Set Decorator, Michael Standish).

Academy Award� winner Eddie Redmayne (The Theory of Everything) and Academy Award� nominee Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) star for Academy Award�-winning director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech and Les Mis�rables). In the 1920s, a strong and loving marriage evolves as Gerda Wegener (Vikander) supports Lili Elbe (Redmayne) during her journey as a transgender woman. Through the other, each of them finds the courage to be who they are at heart. "Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander are sensational!" declares Access Hollywood's Scott Mantz, while Debruge of Variety raves, "Redmayne gives the greatest performance of his career."

The Danish Girl is a moving and sensitive portrait that Lou Lumenick of The New York Post calls "a remarkable and timely story."

Blu-Raytm and DVD bonus feature: The Making of The Danish Girl - Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander, Tom Hooper, and others on the filmmaking team share some of the creative processes that enhanced the beauty of the movie.
